I had a garage install a 2way alarm/auto start kit installed yesterday.

Long story very very short, I went in ~11:30 AM and got out ~9PM. It's understandable if it took ~4hrs or so given that there were other customers and the installer had to run here and there to get them done as well for a bit.

The guy put grease marks b/c he didn't use golves on my pillar where side airbag is.

He couldn't finish b/c he didn't have immobilizer bypass and said he'd get it first thing on Monday. (no starter fxn yet)

He KILLED the clutch switch instead doing a bypass. Now the car starts w/o using clutch.

He didn't assemble the plastic pieces together and now whenever I turn the steering wheel, it makes contact w/ the pieces. Thus the noise.

Factory alarm is not disabled, so I have to disarm the factory alarm first then the aftermarket alarm. Or else, factory alarm goes off

Lastly, heater doesn't work even tho I set at HI. (A/C works tho). What can cause this? He burnt a fuse for hazard lights and had to b e replaced. Can something else be burnt for the heater to disfunction?

Thanks

The heater runs off the engine coolant.

Possibly the installer disconnected the heater valve cable...either under the hood or dash

Thnx guys, I'm going to the garage soon tonight to fix some problems.

When starting w/ my key, there's something wrong if I can start w/o using clutch even w/ a starter installed, correct?

I went to the shop and got it fixed. It took like 10 sec or so. I did not see what he did, but he did something under the hood.

But! last night, i noticed it's not workin properly, again. At high speed (highway), I can feel the heater is blowing nice warm air. However, at stand still or low speed (residential area), it seems the air is just ambivient. I don't want to go all the way to the shop. Does any1 know what do do?

I donno how to fix it, but after you get this dealt with i'd say you should never go back to this shop ever again

I usually keep all the business cards I get. This one, I ripped in pieces and put them out for good. But I might have to go back to fix this.

Sounds like the heater fan is not working. You might have a blown fuse. The fan needs to work before you will feel any air. At high speeds you are just feeling the outside air blowing over the heater core.

I found something interesting... I put the temp to "high" for a bit. (now mysteriously the heater works :donno Then I turn off the climate control. I get hot air flowing in even when it's chilly outside.

I put it to "low" and turn it off. Then cold outside air flows in like it should. Is there somekind of a valve which control this heated air/cold air mix?
